Then D isn't the right choice for you.
I think it makes for a better community if we can be more
welcoming, helpful a gracious instead of responding to
criticism this way. This is someone who saw enough potential
with D to end up on the forums but had some gripes with it,
after all who doesn't? I'm glad he took the initiative to
provide us with good feedback, and he's not the first to take
issue with the inconsistent '@' attribute syntax. I'm sure
everyone can agree this inconsistency is less than ideal but
that doesn't mean D isn't right for them and we should respond
this feedback like this with thanks rather than dismissal.
That inconsistency is an issue for me. I wish there a clear
decision to make things consistent.
Yeah there's been alot of discussion around it over the years,
which is why I put this together about 4 years ago:

Gosh I've forgotten how long I've been using D.
